And therefore the flowery language is that which is pleasant to hear (like it is pleasant to look on a flower) -a mere superficial pleasure (an empty talk). This, the unwise or those of little understanding prate;- this, which has concern with the acquirement of pelf and power.<\/span><\/p>\n Veda-v\u0101da-rat\u0101h<\/em>: those who are addicted to those parts of the Vedas which treat of rewards like Svarga<\/em> etc. (sensuous enjoyments).<\/span><\/p>\n N-\u0101nyad astiti v\u0101dina\u1e25<\/em>: are those who contend that no higher goal exists surpassing svarga<\/em> and similar states.<\/span><\/p>\n K\u0101m\u0101tm\u0101na\u1e25<\/em>: are those whose minds are engrossed in appetites (material).<\/span><\/p>\n Svarga-par\u0101\u1e25<\/em>: are those whose attention is entirely given to Svarga, or who ever ruminate on thoughts of Svarga<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n Janma-karma-phala-prad\u0101m<\/em>: that which relates to acts which would bring about the fruit that would result again in re-birth.
